Whereas, the members of the General Assembly wish to honor the late
Dr. H. Cooper Black, Jr., of Columbia who died October 24, 1993;
and

Whereas, Dr. Black, who was born in Orangeburg County, admirably
served his fellowman through his chosen vocation as a surgeon in the
midlands of South Carolina; and

Whereas, Dr. Black contributed greatly to the Palmetto State's time-honored tradition of sport hunting and the conservation of natural
resources through his love for the great outdoors, his active
participation in the Sandlapper Field Trial Club, and his service as
Chairman of the South Carolina Sporting Dog Commission; and

Whereas, his lifelong interest in and dedication to all aspects of sport
hunting and natural resources conservation has left a legacy of true
sportsmanship and respect for our natural resources that will inspire
generations of South Carolinians to come; and

Whereas, the General Assembly of South Carolina feels it is fitting
and proper that this true sportsman, Dr. H. Cooper Black, Jr., is
honored by naming an area dedicated to recreation and sporting dog
field trial events for him. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly commemorate the naming
by the South Carolina Forestry Commission of an area dedicated to
recreation and sporting dog field trial events, to be located on Sand
Hills State Forest in Chesterfield County, for the Honorable Dr. H.
Cooper Black, Jr.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to
